I have unfortunately no 64 bit machine for testing: my computers are all 32 bit machines. Since the problem did not occur with the previous Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit, I did the following cross testing with the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 8.04 .
1) on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10: latex on 32 bit Ubuntu 8.04: dvips and ps2pdf FAILS with dvips: This is dvips(k) 5.96.1 Copyright 2007 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2010.08.13:2231' -> test.ps dvips: ! Couldn't find header file pst-algparser.pro. Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode. 2) on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10: latex and dvips on 32 bit Ubuntu 8.04 : ps2pdf FAILS with ps2pdf (hangs): the PS file is not converted into a PDF file so apparently the PS file is corrupted as the same result occurs if the PS is converted under the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 3) on 32 bit Ubuntu 8.04 : latex on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10: dvips and ps2pdf WORKS 4) on 32 bit Ubuntu 8.04 : latex and dvips on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10: ps2pdf WORKS -- I wonder what the right conclusions are. I would guess the problem is the LATEX binary (and/or the package implementation of pstricks and "pst-algparser.pro", respectively; see case 1) of the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 since the DVI file cannot be processed with the 32 bit version of Ubuntu 8.04. Assuming that the DVI files should be compatible (which I do not know) this seems to be a valid conclusion. -- PS Tricks does not work \input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584354 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
